Default Re: Domain name vs Content

Hi all -

I have the domain Known Books and known.com of Suttons Bay - Devoted to the Joys and Luxury of Books and Reading and when you do a search for the word "known" on Google 479 million search results are rendered. I am usually in spot number one and sometimes I drop back to position two - answers.com with one of their topic directories and I toggle back and forth between position one and two almost daily.

I am in the process of changing the direction and dynamics of the site.

This is an interesting thread - I've been buying up a lot of long tail domain names and have begun the process of experimenting with how sites rank based upon these domain names. Some I've owned for years and didn't do a thing with them but hold them. It is too soon to post any type of conclusion about them, but I decided after I saw the unique traffic they attracted when I parked them with Sedo it was time to either create new sites, blogs, or to institute some web forwarding to my main site.
